Default flush mount help

I just installed flush mounts on my F4i and they look great except for now the bike acts like the blinkers are out by blinking fast and also on my guage cluster the arrows stay lit up. I'm thinking that to fix this problem i need to get a different fuse/flasher. Is this correct?

i dont know, but i think they blink fast cuz theres more power running thru them. I think there is like a switch that can slow them down.

are they leds? you might need to add a resistor to the circuit to make it have the same resistance it had before you switched out the lights.

They are LED's and wouldn't switching out the fuse/flasher with a different one essentially be the same thing as adding a resistor?

no because he system was built with them in mind and not the decreased resistance of the leds.
